Pretty cool. You are very creative and efficient in the way you get the most out of a 21 foot Crooked Pilot house.

You know Capt, you could have painted the boat blue! 😁😁😁

I’m ordering a new pilot house boat just so that I can install the generator exactly as you did

Great modifications cap - super professional!

Captain, another great addition to the Crooked Pilothouse!!

Nice handywork Captain. You have great skills in Improving the crooked pilot house into a versatile cruiser.

Omg. Lots of modifications, and unique inventions to your boat. Your home must be quite interesting? 😊😊😊

That's cool, nothing like having power and AC while out on the boat!

Someone was up early this morning. Lol. Nice touch painting the gen white!

I love your meticulous details… Your auto pilot video I used more than the Raymarine instruction manual and made the project was easy

That’s a very thoughtful mod. Especially for the vibration while you’re sleeping. Good work as always Cap! 👍🤓

Good point on the backrest position, crooked again 😲. On my old 20 ft walk around Grady, those backrests from the crooked pilot house would be a right fit. 😎

The fish in the live well will complain about the noise and vibration. LOL. Good travels, Skipper.

Excellent video like all of you sensei. Thanks so much.

Much more interesting & helpful than another cooking show. ;)

Always upgrading,nice setup

Great job, Cap. I was never crazy about the gen being mounted on top of the gunnel. Curious what your next project is gonna be. Keep it up!

Nice update. 2 thoughts though. Maybe tilt that exhaust down a little so rain does not get in the engine also maybe a spray hood on the front to keep the plug area dry.

As always, amazing job! It looks wonderful and also very practical. You never stop improving. It is very satisfying. Thanks a lot. Have a good one as they say. Cheers and … Props Clear!

Very good idea, I put some black foam on it that I bought at Harbor Freight. Capt Rudy.

Good job. 🎉 . You may want to drill a couple small holes in that aluminum plate you made for exhaust for water to drain . Just a thought

Hey skipper so that generator powers all your devices at once? Mini fridge, ice maker, a/c, etc. I plan on installing a generator next year on my old Pilot House for trips up the Long Island Sound. But it has to be a quick release type of deal so I can remove it and leave it at the dock for short trips. The generator has to be as quiet as possible but be able to put out enough energy. The last thing I want is too much noise on board when I'm trying to enjoy the water. Anyway good job with the video keep em coming skipper!

Hi Capt... You are always inventing new ways to make your boat better. Great job! I'm also impressed with your factory-look paint job of the generator. It looks great, and serves a great purpose. I'm guessing you already know that flat white is the most heat-reflective color. (not gloss white, and certainly not silver). It's why large commercial buildings went to using flat-white membranes on the roofs. People used to think silver was heat-reflective; it is not. Many metal roofs, silver/galvanized tin etc. used in the past are super heat-absorbing. For those who may doubt this, get two standard bright shiny butter knives. Paint one flat white. Lay them both in the hot sun. Wait an hour or so, and pick them up. The silver one will burn your fingers. The flat white one will be barely warm.... I didn't mean to ramble on here... sorry!

That is sweet man great thinking love the idea definitely and it seems it will work great one thing I thought of about the extended muffler you could get some of that fiberglass wrap they use on motorcycle exhaust pipes to reduce the heat

I like the new placement captain of your generator and the white that you painted it. Looks good great job on that one. Also nice when u are lying down u can see your generator as well and it’s more out of site and out of mind Safe Navigation

At first I was confused as to why you were painting it, then when you took the shot from on top of the boat, I was wow!!! that looks so good. You could have left it where it was and made a splash guard, but that does require a bit more work. Me encanto el video, a hora listo para navegal!

Great job, Capitan!!! saludos!!!

You are quite the fabricator man! Good job.

Keep a tin can or something handy to put over your muffler pipe when it isn't running to keep water from going into your engine. I could give you a bunch of ideas on how to keep water out but you will eventually come up with your own ideas I'm sure. A real easy one is to cut an angle at the back of the pipe where the exhaust exits. Think of an angle like you cut the bottom inch or so of the pipe off leaving the top uncut. Anyway, with your pipe pointed up I worry water may get into it. Thanks for your content by the way. I enjoy watching your adventures and wish I could go as well!

Very nicely done I like the white painted generator.

always great info 👍🏼

the flex SS exhaust tubing is not required and can be removed. The aluminum plate you installed is sufficient to direct the generator exhaust away from the outboard engine. even at high speed, the exhaust gas should be forced out with minimum exhaust entering the outboard. Plus less chances of you getting seared by the tubing

Nice work Cap!

I know you know what you are doing so just a comment - the exhaust extension adds back pressure to the OEM design stub. Same stub on my Honda unit. Not sure what’s acceptable in this case how long one could go, but bigger diameter and smooth bore and short as possible is better, than not. A bend adds back pressure too vs straight, was thinking a larger diameter smooth bore pipe short, but with a turn to starboard early- would be ideal. Standard car exhaust type tubing, comes to mind. And most is steel to rust but stainless full exhausts exist. The back pressure is the most when cold, then drops with heat. At least what I recall from college days. The best crooked out there, the only one at it. Guy in my marina with some other 25 ft is all over your video on the trolling setup with the spot lock. The 21 ft crooked pilot house next to my former old 20ft Grady walk around with the full Bimini in the marina together would be ideal. No other pilot except the rare Steiger, fits. And I mean no other brand. Probably want to spend more time on yours than mine, too. No boat is without projects and upgrades for the working class guy. Me too. 💪. Peace.

Nice Job!!!

Great job capt

Really solid job Capt. well done that should help a lot, also Capt. you can get heat tape to wrap the muffler it will stop the heat so if you hit it by accident you wont get burned I use it on my old Harley motorcycle builds.

For the exhaust pipe you can use a heat wrap to reduce risk of burning. You can find heat wrap tape for exhaust pipes in most motorcycle shops.

I thought for sure you were going to paint it to match your outboard and throw a Yamaha sticker on it ;) you could cut off one of the S hooks off the strap and just hook to the strap itself for a nice clean look.

Good Job Capt!

Great job cap , you can put in the muffler high temp exhaust tape. I use in my motorcycle exhaust

Great job captain, maybe a vibration dampening material under your base would stop some of the vibration in the cabin. And keep it a lot quieter. As always keep improving And keep that prop clear. 😂😂

Saludos capitán usted tiene más trucos que el cinturón de Batman.

Thank you

Nice!

Awesome Mod! 👍👍👍👍⚓

Nice upgrade captain🎉

Another great job as usual. I would have to find a way to insulate the exhaust pipe. I would be the first to get hooked up on that. Smooth cruising Capt.

just be careful of the vacuum behind the pilot house sometimes with certain wind I get exhaust smell off the evinrude in the cabin underway.

They make insulation wrap and an insulation tape for that muffler. I would definitely wrap it so you don’t burn yourself or the boat.

AHORA SI CAPITAN A NAVEGAR CON AIRE BUENA LOCALISACION BUEN UPGRADE👍👍🛥

Great Mod Captain you always come up with great improvements. A question how do you refill your generator with fuel I always have it overflow with fuel? Tahnk you

Two suggestions, maybe a CO detector, and have you thought about any sea deck in cabin? Putting it inside cabin to the roof and sides to try and insulate a bit to keep the pilot house colder?

Nice work

Get a carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. Don’t want you to die on us if wind blows exhaust into boat!

Great modification for the boat, Captain. Do you have any drain holes in the exhaust deflector tray? Didn't see one? I actually thought you got a new generator when I saw the thread.

magical captain

Capo that was a great modification and quiet - nice paint job too ! What about a fresh water resivor ? Is that something your going to address in the future ? Always improving :-

This video came just in time! Great engineering as always cap! Did you notice a sound difference with the added exhaust pipe? A cheap exhaust wrap can help prevent an accidental burn! Awesome vid cap!

Have you ever thought of going solar? There alot of kits you can buy no more gas to worry about.

🤓Good idea

Great job Capt - Question, will you be leaving the gen in place or do you plan on storing it when not in operation like before?

Thanks for that, let us know how the extra weight on the starboard side goes, considering you're mostly on your own.

KZfaq is good at shooting there own foot. Maybe lets find a new but easy way to share your links. I know I have used them before, in-fact I just now came back just to check out you links.

Your next future upgrade should be an exhaust sleeve???

Captain this indicates that we are getting ready for the next journey! 📢📢 Full steam ahead Captain!

Has probado las baterias de litio con salida de 12v o 110v. Tienes 2000ah y silencio total y se recargan con el propio motor, con paneles solares o con AC!

Awesome Cap- how did you secure platform to live well? Glue? Toggle bolts ?

Hey, in your opinion, do you really like the Westinghouse Gen Vs the other brands?

So that generator runs air conditioner, refrigerator, and ice maker all at the same time or is it limited? Very nice modification Capt.!😀

So is this glued and screwed into the fiberglass or just glued?

Is the base attached or just strapped to generator?

Remember you had a white one dam it ! Lol it’s good not many choices ..

Im wondering why you didn't mount it further back in the corner over the seat? I know there's a storage locker underneath, but it would seem to be more secure and protected. Thanks for the videos. Always like watching your adventures.

Capt, I have a 25ft Parker and bought the Westinghouse Generator because of you. Love your content. I have several questions about your setup. Would it be possible to talk on the phone?

You still up Cappy? 😂

Do you have a carbon monoxide detector in the cabin?

Good work! Did you remove the carpet inside the pilot house that was on the walls and ceiling? If so, how much of a pain in the ass was that?

Hope you put a CO2 detector in the cabin if you're going to be sleeping in there. Plenty of news stories out there where deaths occurred with on-deck generators.

👍

I worry about CO with that installation. CO tends to hang around transoms even with winds. When it was on the side the exhaust could detach from the hull shape more easily. Get a CO detector and check it out.

Esta malo el weather Capt. Por eso estas remodelado, esperemos mejore un poco.

Get a carbon monoxide detector for in the cabin.

Nobody does it better...

I would like to know what you paid for the boat? Since it was manufactured wrong... I would have taken it back....

Tipo ecoflow river pro

Hey Cubano ! usually can get into your ideas, mods, which most of the time are spot on, not so much this one, to me seems like in the way, too much stuff hanging out, but you know your boat better than anyone else, whatever floats, for sure you're going to get alot of complaints from your live well residents, wouldn't want to stick my hands in there ! 😂

Are you an engineer by profession?
